The humble inventions that power our modern world wouldn’t have been possible without decades of support for early-stage ...

Home > Science What Is a Transistor, and How Does It Work? Join us for a deep dive into the tiny technology that powers the world.

Three-Dimensional (3D) Transistors: Stacking transistors vertically in a 3D configuration to increase transistor density on a chip without reducing individual transistor size.

The transistor is the tiny invention that powers the modern world - but its creation was anything but simple. This video explores how a small group of engineers overcame impossible challenges to ...

Future innovations in high-mobility transistors require looking at new materials and platforms as well as finding ways to work around existing practical limitations such as cost or material ...

CMOS technology uses two different types of transistors, n-type (nMOS) and p-type (pMOS), which work together in pairs in a complementary manner. The term "complementary" refers to how these two ...

Why silk is being used for bio-compatible transistors. How the silk is transformed to develop the transistor function. The two types of operation provided by the silk-based transistor. Silicon and ...

Transistors act as switches, turning current on and off to code for the 1s and 0s of digital logic. The new work focuses on a type of device called an organic electrochemical transistor (OECT ...

When combined with Intel's new manufacturing process---changing from 32-nanometer chips to 22-nanometer ones---the company says the new transistors work 37% faster when chips are in low-voltage mode, ...
